Discipline Committee members hadn''t expected that, the very group who usually upheld the school discipline, would actively break the rules today and engage in a brawl outside school grounds.


    Fortunately, the fight broke out unexpectedly and the opposing side hadn''t prepared any weapons, but the bad news was that neither had Kagura Hikaru and his team, leaving everyone with no choice but to go fist to fist in a physical collision match.


    Within just a scant ten seconds or so, the situation began to tilt in favor of the Discipline Committee members.


    Unlike the biker gang which relied solely on brute force, the grappling techniques that the Discipline Committee members practiced regrly in their club room came into y, coupled with their coordinated teamwork, they took down several people upon making contact.


    By the time Ayakoji Chiyoko joined the fray, the scales of victory tippedpletely one-sided.


    Thebat prowess of the other Discipline Committee members was already high from a high schooler''s standpoint, but Ayakoji Chiyoko was still above them all. Despite her physique being weaker than that of men''s, she could easily knock down an adult with a blow, incapacitating them from getting up for quite a while.


    Her movements were extremely fast, and she clearly knew the weak points of the human body, targeting the opponents'' vulnerabilities with every strike, and she took down several people within five to six seconds.


    Soon, the biker gang members were lying on the ground, while not a single Discipline Committee member had been lost, signaling their defeat as inevitable.


    It seems there''s no need for me to act now.


    That''s what Kagura Hikaru thought.


    Suddenly, his eyes narrowed; the Sha Ma Te biker gang leader, somehow unnoticed, had crept up behind Ayakoji Chiyoko. Something in his right hand, which he had pulled from his pocket, glinted with a sh of cold light.


    Kagura Hikaru was rmed and immediately rushed forward.


    "Motherfucker, take this—"


    The Sha Ma Te biker gang member suddenly pulled out a switchde and stabbed it down toward Ayakoji Chiyoko''s shoulder.


    He had already figured out that Ayakoji Chiyoko was the leader of these people and nned to injure her first, then use her as a hostage to force the group to retreat.


    Ayakoji Chiyoko turned her head at the noise, her face showing surprise, but it was already toote to react.


    However, as the switchde came down, an iron hand unexpectedly appeared from the side, fiercely grabbing the wrist of the Sha Ma Te biker gang member holding the knife, followed by a punch to his ribs.


    Taking advantage of his loosened grip from the pain, Kagura Hikaru snatched away the switchde, and thennded another punch that knocked the Sha Ma Te biker gang member''s jaw askew. The man''s body shuddered, and he copsed into unconsciousness.


    Kagura Hikaru closed the switchde and put it away, then turned to look back at an astonished Ayakoji Chiyoko.


    Hearing the whoosh of air, he turned his head and saw another biker gang member charging toward him with excellent form, so going with his momentum, Hikaru sidestepped, grabbed the assant''s hand, shouldered him, and executed a leg sweep—a perfect Judo throw heard with a thud as the unfortunate thug was mmed heavily onto the ground, instantly rendered incapacitated.


    Seeing this, Ayakoji Chiyoko''s surprise deepened on her face, "That was a beautiful throw."


    "Thank you,"


    Kagura Hikaru remained unfazed, merely nodding, then reached out to assist a nearby Discipline Committee member in taking down another person.


    Since he had already intervened, he might as well help to the end; standing by idly didn''t seem right.


    He didn''t realize that Ayakoji Chiyoko was still discreetly observing him, surprised by hisbat skills.


    Ayakoji Chiyoko hadn''t expected much of Kagura Hikaru''s fighting ability because his build didn''t resemble that of someone who exercised regrly. But maybe she had indeed judged the book by its cover; he had remained unengaged until now, but his involvement let her see how superficial her understanding of him had been.


    That swift response, the grasp of timing, and the ease with which he handled himself during the encounter, were all qualities apparent in someone who had seen many battles.


    His fluid movements even reminded Ayakoji Chiyoko of her Judo master, an old fellow who had been immersed in martial arts for fifty years.


    To tell the truth, she had never been sopletely mistaken about someone.


    This intense feeling of misjudgment caused a strange current of warmth to surge through Ayakoji Chiyoko''s heart.


    Ayakoji Chiyoko had a peculiar fascination with probing into others'' inner selves.


    She needed to unearth the things and emotions that others kept hidden, to satisfy her curiosity.


    Previously, Kagura Hikaru used personal matters as an excuse not to tell Ayakoji Chiyoko what she was doing, which had piqued her ''keen interest''. To her disappointment, he had voluntarily revealed the secret that afternoon, and it turned out to be nothing special.


    But this time, this time was different, she had found a ''secret'' even more significant than thest one!


    Ayakoji Chiyoko''s heart raced, her blood boiling with uncontroble excitement.


    A smile spread across her face unwittingly, terrifying the gang member she was beating to the core.


    This woman, was she actually beating someone up while smiling? Was she some kind of sadist?!


    It took just over ten minutes for the Discipline Committee member to sessfully knock down all the gang members, with only minor injuries to their side, all of them light wounds.


    The Gori Vice President, having learned from others that Ayakoji Chiyoko had nearly been stabbed, was beside himself with rage. Since it wasn''t right to take it out on the unconscious, he directed his fury towards Takayama Kenta and the two others who had been pinned down.N?v(el)B\\jnn


    Their thumbs were tied behind their backs, but their feet were not, which originally gave them a chance to escape amidst the chaos. However, Kagura Hikaru had been watching them the whole time. When Kagura Hikaru went in for the rescue, the three thought their opportunity hade, but other Discipline Committee members spotted themotion and came over to guard.


    Seeing that all the gang members had been defeated, their spirits sank, lying face up like useless fish on the beach, having lost all desire to flee.


    They thought the situation couldn''t get any worse, but reality proved them too naive.


    As soon as Takayama Kenta heard footsteps and opened his eyes, he saw a man as huge as a gori, mming his fist, as big as a sandpot, towards his face.


    "Wait——"


    Takayama Kenta''s eyes widened in an attempt to say something, but the fist had already smashed into his nose, instantly dazing him.


    "That''s for trying to escape! That''s for extorting! That''s for calling yourself big brother! That''s for backstabbing the President!"


    "I... I didn''t backstab our President..." Takayama Kenta managed to say, nose bleeding.


    Another punch hit his eye socket.


    "Contrarian jerk, always contradicting, now contradict this!"


    "You... you..."


    Takayama Kenta''s breath caught in his throat, and he fainted on the spot.


    But to Tachibana Kanichi and Koyama Rikiya watching alongside, it was clear he was knocked out by the beating!


    Seeing the Gori''s eyes turn their way, they were struck with terror and shouted with all their strength, "Don''t hit me! I''ll confess!"


    "Yes, yes, we have something very important to tell!"


    Ayakoji Chiyoko walked over and looked down at them, her face expressionless as she said, "What you want to talk about is Sato Seiji, isn''t it."


    "Uh...."


    Tachibana Kanichi and Koyama Rikiya exchanged an awkward look.


    It seemed she had guessed right.


    "Vice President, take these three away for interrogation back at the headquarters."


    "Yes!"


    The Gori Vice President went behind the two, and like picking up chicks, lifted them with one hand each.


    The passed out Takayama Kenta was handed over to other Discipline Committee members for escort and surveince.


    As for those gang members lying on the ground, groaning... let them stay a little longer; young people need their sleep.
